What is flag football?
Flag football takes everything exciting about American football and makes it accessible to everyone — no pads, no tackles, just speed, skill, and strategy.
No Tackling
Instead of tackling, defenders pull a flag from the ball carrier's belt. Safer, faster, and just as exciting.
Olympic Sport
Flag football debuts at the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics. Australia is building its national program right now.
Everyone Welcome
Mixed-gender, all ages, all skill levels. Flag football is one of the most inclusive team sports in the world.
Fast-Paced Action
